Control yes, power no. Already, most of the AI on your phone wouldn't work
without internet.

You can't transmit electricity efficiently without wires. Tesla thought he
could do this because he rejected the inverse square law. But batteries are
getting better. The reason fat and fuel have higher energy densities is you
don't have to include the mass of the oxygen in the air. The reaction 2
(CH2)x + 3 O2 -> 2 CO2 + 2 H2O  is 77.5% oxygen. Hydrogen fuel cells at
33,000 Whr/kg (110x lithium batteries) would be ideal if there was a good
way to store it.
